Wesley Charles Newson and his wife, Nicole, will be guest speakers for the Christian Response Ministry’s annual program following Sunday’s morning worship service at Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

Born in Oak Ridge, Wesley graduated from Oak Ridge High School and pursued a degree in business administration and marketing at Tennessee State University. He and Nicole had immense plans for their life -- that didn’t include performing missionary work in one of the world’s poorest countries.

The couple were introduced to mission work after participating in a small group discussion on the book, “The Hole In Our Gospel.” They took their first mission trip to Haiti in 2010 and returned to the country in March.

Nicole is in the process of taking another trip in August. According to church information, this “has become a great passion” for the couple.

They live in Nashville, where they attend Brentwood Baptist Church.

The church is located at 195 Wilberforce Ave. Elder Tommie L. Mims is pastor.
